Frequently Asked Questions
Selling Your Property
At 1st American Properties, we provide immediate cash offers for homes in any condition. Simply fill out our property form with your address, city, state, zip code, and phone number. We'll schedule a visit to assess your property and provide you with a competitive cash offer within 24-48 hours. Our process is designed for speed and efficiency, allowing you to close on your timeline.
Zero fees and zero commissions! Unlike traditional real estate transactions where you'd pay 6% agent commissions and an average of 2% in closing costs, we cover all closing costs. You keep the full cash offer amount we provide - no hidden fees, no surprises.
Any condition accepted! We buy houses in any condition - whether it needs major repairs, has structural issues, or is move-in ready. You don't need to make any repairs or improvements before selling to us. We handle everything, saving you time, money, and stress.
Selling to us offers significant advantages: No 6% agent fees, zero closing costs, no appraisals needed, instant cash offers, flexible closing dates, no repairs required, and we even provide assistance with moving. Traditional agents typically involve commission fees, closing costs, appraisals, longer sale times (averaging 91+ days), repair requirements, and potential delays and uncertainty.
Our process is simple and straightforward: 1) Schedule A Visit - Coordinate a convenient appointment for our experienced team to visit and assess your property's value. 2) Close - Complete the final steps of the sale transaction, ensuring all paperwork and details are handled smoothly. 3) Get Paid - Receive your payment promptly and securely after closing, ensuring a stress-free selling process.
We offer flexible closing dates based on your needs. Unlike traditional sales that take an average of 91+ days, we can close in as little as 7-14 days if you need to sell quickly, or we can work with your timeline if you need more time. The choice is yours.

No appraisal needed! Unlike traditional home sales that often require appraisals, we make offers based on our own evaluation of your property. This speeds up the process and eliminates one more hassle for you.
Yes! We provide assistance with moving as part of our service. We understand that moving can be stressful, and we're here to help make your transition as smooth as possible.
Once you submit your property information through our form, we'll contact you promptly to schedule a convenient time to visit your property.
